Island life

Today we had to kill time until we could check into the house. We thought that would give us a great opportunity to swap our rattle-trap Jeep for something more sensible, but apparently there are NO OTHER VEHICLES on the entire island. I spent a bit of time on the phone today with the manager, and I think he understood that I would not give up and be happy with my Jeep. We got a discount and our REAL car should be delivered to us first thing in the morning. Cross your fingers!

Whoo! This is a long one...

Boogie boarding is fun, but it turns out I don't like the part where you get from the beach to the place where you catch the waves. I kept getting knocked down by breaking waves and dragged under. Brooke and Chris taught me when was the right time to rush out, but by then, I was exhausted, with a nose full of seawater, and a suit full of sand.

[Adria, how do I get sand out of our hair?]

Since boogie boarding is not for me, I spent the day reading. Whoo hoo! Sometimes in the living room! Sometimes on the porch! Sometimes at the beach! This book is really long!

Down past all the fancy resorts in Poipu, there is a road marked "No Trespassing." If you ignore that (as we did), and drive slowly down a deserted dirt road until it is dangerous to go any further, you will be rewarded with the sight of Maha'ulepu. Beauty so great that it cannot be captured on film (or bits) is well worth the trip!
